Nightime snack ideas?

I get hungry before bed & if I don't eat a little something my m/s is worse in the morning.  I'm running out of ideas of healthy late night snacks - I don't want to load up on carbs at night.  I think I'll puke if I eat another cracker too.  Any ideas for healthy latenight snacks???

probably depends on which kind on whether its healthy but I usually eat a bowl of cereal before bed Smile

and usually if I haven't had a "treat" for the day I treat myself to the sugary stuff like lucky charms!

I usually have some fruit and cheese.  Either apple slices or grapes (sometimes both) and a few slices of cheese and maybe some walnuts.

healthy night time snacks? I don't know what you mean... This is the conversation I had with my dad last night at 9pm after complaining that anything I ate would probably give my wicked heartburn:

Dad: How was your snack?
Me: Good, I had Doritos and a bowl of Corn Chex.
Dad: I thought you were eating pizza??
Me: I am now!

It was a frozen sausage pizza, and we put extra bacon and mozzarella on it. Surprisingly the heartburn wasn't as bad as I expected!

Haha...this sounds like me!

I like bananas with pb (sometimes I throw on some chocolate chips), apples and cheese, pretzels, peanuts, beef jerkey.

I keep a stack of cereal bars on my nightstand for those middle of the night wake ups. The kind with the fruit in the middle.

I snack on something called an "Orchard Bar" when I find myself needing a late snack. It contains fruits, nuts, & seeds & fulfills my appetite just enough, so I don't feel like I'm going to bed hungry. I think you can find them at most grocery stores, if not something similar to it.

I like having a bowl of raisin bran, some string cheese, or peanut butter toast with a glass of milk. Sometimes I just have a spoonful of peanut or almond butter with a glass of milk. A little fat and protein will stay with you longer.

My favorite healthy snacks, for any time of day are

Yogurt with grapenuts mixed in (great fiber!)

Colby Jack cheese sticks

A bowl of raisin bran (I use 2% milk)

Hummus and carrots

 

These are also all things that don't give me heart burn,  aren't carb heavy, and have a fair amount of nutrients for both me and my LO.

I keep a lot of those 100 calorie snacks everywhere - in the car, my desk drawer, night stand..

 I also love pudding cups for on the go or making pudding and keeping it in the fridge and grabbing a spoon when the mood strikes. I do the same with Jello - on teh go or in the fridge!

Popsicles too! :)

Bwhahahaha~! I'm totally there, and only in first tri...

I would suggest a whole grain english muffin with pb...great fiber content, and the pb gives you good fats!
